Rollieo Del Fuego

Ultra aggressive coaches like Hartley, Peter's and all are like that because they couldn't play hockey themselves and take it out on everyone else....

So...Hartley comes out looking like what he is....maybe super-douche would be more accurate...

I am calling that opinion ...a bust... You don't write off a 21 year old D.man You don't write off a first round pick before they played there first game. You don't call someone lacking in talent ...when it is yourself lacking in knowledge. We will still be winning this one...! Just watch...!

Depth is fleeting...if you have it you have to use it or you end up losing it from waiver's or trades for more Eriksson's....(I know we didn't trade for him, use Gubbranson if you want)....

If they keep switching it up with Goldy and Baer...we can hang on to both of them until the TDL or even the playoffs where that extra depth and offense just might come in handy....no roster limit;s for the playoffs...

This injury is turning into a paranoidal cyst on CDC's collective butt....

Madden has the drive and skill to be as good as Gaudette and Gaudette has the drive and skill to be as good as Horvat...so I don't think we need to worry about Madden...his only issue might be trying to make the Canucks next year...even if we trade Sutter he would have to outplay AG because Green won't play him at 4C, I hope Madden is alright with a year in Utica or playing the wing....

Gaudette may have read this...he is smoking big time and may just catch fire from here out...!

I think Rathbone is going to be better than Stetcher and maybe even a Hughes lite kind of D...so if one of Oli or Jack do pan out ...we will be fine, if both do we need to ship out a NHL D. I do agree that one more high end D. prospect would be a good idea...Utinen is alright but iffy and Rafferty, Teves, Brisboise and Sautner are all alright for 7th or 8th D depth. Forgot about Tryamkin and Woo may get to top 4...but looks to me like a depth D.

..Some of the worst speculation I have heard...let's give it a rest....

...yet...gaud is much improved in 2months the rest of the year could see some smoke...if not flames...

So he is tied for 5th in the Nation in scoring and just one point out of 3rd....sounds pretty darn good to me...so what is your point? Also he is way ahead of Turcotte and Caufield...!

Erikkson nearly cost us a penalty last game...simply by doodling at bench door...he actually stopped and turned around to look at the play...as his replacement was just about to get into it...before sauntering off the ice. I was sure the refs were going to call that...they had been calling things in the Cap's favour all game... Erikkson needs to retire, he has zero drive left...

If we had him ...we couldn't afford EP or BB or QH...at least one of those and I would rather have those...TPuke is not turning Calgary into a cup team and by the time Oli is in his prime Calgary will be back to the bottom...while we are perennially good due to our depth and quality.

....He is the guy who grew up having to fight all the guys making fun on his name...reminds me of Burrows for tenacity and grit...

While Tchapuke is costing Calgary 8-10 million a year (next contract)...we will be paying Oli on an entry level contract...for what will be Edler's smarter replacement...

If he is 5-10 goal scorer his rookie year...he should tone it down some...if he gets 20-30...we all celebrate like New Years...!

Kole's anticipation/reading of the play has greatly improved...he is now ahead of the curve!

Why are people writing off a 21 year old just because he has had bad luck with injuries...that can change, he can actually get healthy and even if it takes another year or even 2 he will still be a 22 or 23 year old D man the same age as Stecher was or Rathbone will be when they make/made the team... I would think his chances of been a bust are all due to his latest/longest setback but I doubt that puts it up to even 20% chance of bust...people heal...

Holy crap....so now he is skating like McJesus and passing like Hughes...maybe we will have a pair of #1 D's like Makar and Byram in Colorado!

Rathbone, Tryamkin, Woo and Juolevi will all be NHL D. if there health holds up...Rathbone and Juolevi will be top 4 and the other 2 not far behind. I don't think we are too bad off and wouldn't trade a high end forward prospect for a maybe D prospect....

...Looks like McJesus on that rush...!

I Doughty Quinn's playing tonight....anyone know?

I am doing less and less preaching to those that can't really seem to see the game... Now that we have depth we can survive multiple player's being injured, we also have some truculence ...way more than last year...we also have some backup goaltending. We will not only make the playoffs but we will win at least one round...more if everybody is healthy. We have the horses now!

The only thing I can think of is that they lost the final last year...repeat loser's syndrome...
